Description

Welcome! I'm Terri, a Registered Dietitian and the founder of the DGN.

I use a strengths-based and person-centered approach to nutrition care and proudly practice through a weight-neutral and neurodiversity-affirming lens, valuing diversity and inclusion.

At the DGN I help neurodivergent adults navigate feeding challenges and simplify mealtime so they can nourish themselves with comfort and confidence.
